Such a picturesque course with a great variety of interesting holes. I loved it for this reason & for the high number of short par 4's for my pathetically short drives of under 200 yards. Not a long hitters course unless you want eagle putts on several par 4's.

Two particularly slow groups recognised this and invited players through, so I cannot wait to play again this cleverly designed course by the legendry Peter Alliss.

Only nets to practise in, but a very friendly welcome thank you.

A great layout, with many interesting & challenging holes, but too difficult for golfers who are wayward off the tee.
3 poorly designed holes in terms of a very small green to hit - and blind for the 12th - when generally approaching from around 180 yards. The Par 3 1st is a prime example especially if you are a lady with only a 7-yard advantage over the yellow tee despite what the card stipulates. Wonderful practise facilities, so I'll be returning to improve on my poor score of 88 this time.

Lydd is a fantastic course. Challenging with many water hazards and well-designed holes. Not easy to score well as most wayward shots are punished with several par 4 holes playing long. Described as an inland links course, and although it is not true links, it's a fair description. Lydd has a good range and catering facilities too. Amazing value and under £25.

Challenging course, fairly tree lined, with so many interesting holes, but very playable still for the high handicapper. True, medium to fast greens meant it was my fault for 3-putting twice! Beautiful setting despite clubhouse building work due to be completed by August, with very reasonably priced good food. Friendly members, and round only slowish due to following a 4 ball team match - 4 hours 20 minutes. Thank you Copthorne & hope to return to better my average score of 10 over. At £20 excellent value, but £30 would price me out, as I'd select other courses between £15 and £25 on my restricted budget.

Fantastic welcome & allowed to change tee off time. So many interesting holes. Truly links and challenging to play to one's handicap (11). A must play if in the area. Wonderful holes & greens ran true, but the layout is 9 out almost in a line, with 9 back, so a halfway break not possible.
